‘Magically, exhaustingly uplifting’: what the papers say about Oasis

Music critics unite in five-star praise of Gallagher brothers' opening night in Cardiff as the kings of rock'n'roll'

Even the most optimistic fans had begun to suspect Oasis would never go on stage again, given that as recently as January 2024, in this newspaper, Liam was pacing around slagging off his brother at considerable length. But the Oasis reunion did indeed come to pass, and the reaction has universally been one of wonderment. You'd expect that from fans - if you ended up spending north of 300 on a dynamically priced ticket, you'd decide you were going to have fun - but critics have also been united in their praise.
